Tour 2 - Adriatic Coast Motorcycle Tour

Don’t miss this opportunity to visit what is often regarded as the ‘French Riviera of Eastern Europe’

After a short Channel Tunnel crossing we’ll ride across Holland and northern Germany to board the overnight Motorail to Austria.

The next morning, after disembarking from the train, we’ll continue our journey through Slovenia and the Croatian region of Zagorje towards Kumrovec, the birthplace of the late Marshall Tito.

To start off this fantastic tour in a true Balkan fashion, on our first night in Croatia we have booked a private banquet room in a castle for a traditional medieval dinner. Here we’ll have a unique opportunity to taste some Croatian traditional dishes and sample a variety of locally produced wines.

A free day can be used to visit the former president’s house which has been turned into a museum, or alternatively you may opt to have a quiet day off the bike and make full use of the hotel’s fantastic leisure and spa facilities.

The next morning, we shall follow winding roads through the Zagorje Hills towards the breathtaking Plitvice National Park where we’ll stop for a tour of the lakes and for lunch.

Our journey continues by descending in the direction of the Adriatic coast and to our next destination, a four star hotel located near a small fishing port. The hotel has its own excellent restaurant, indoor swimming pool, sports and leisure facilities, private beach, sauna, massage, beauty therapist and secure parking.

A free day presents us with a choice of going on a day ride followed by a short boat trip through the gorge to visit the magnificent waterfalls of the river Krka… ….or just parking the bike and exploring the town and making the most of the hotel’s fantastic leisure facilities.

Following the scenic coastal road we ride half the length of the fantastic Adriatic coast with majestic blue seas to our left and the stunning  mountain ranges of Mosor and Velebit to our right.

Our next destination is the costal resort of Porec and a three star hotel near the marina with a restaurant, bar, various treatment services and facilities, outdoor swimming pool and safe parking.

On our day off we can visit the remains of the Roman amphitheatre in Pula, the old town of Rovinj, Hum (the smallest city in Europe numbering only seventeen residents) and the medieval hilltop town of Groznjani which is also an artist colony.

 

This is a leisurely relaxing tour where our local knowledge will greatly contribute towards enhancing your motorcycle holiday experience.
